Beautiful Original Armoire Dispaly Wardrobe

This has been my favourite resoration project to date...when we found this poor Armoire it was in a sorry old state - after some time spent on her she is now fully restored, I just need to find her a loving home now...


~ Original Antique French Armoire Wardrobe 1890.C ~

£950.00  SOLD

Local pick-up or we can arrange delivery within a 10 mile radius of the Blandford area in Dorset FREE of charge.

This is a prime example of an (original) French Armoire wardrobe dating from the 1890’s which was left standing in an old chateau in Normandy. It has been lovingly restored and painted in Fired Earth eggshell – Chalk White no.61.


This Armoire has so many stunning design features... with all Armoire’s the top is always the most impressive with its arched facet and classic emblem. This part can be lifted off and placed back into the wooden dowels.


It has the most divine detailing to the woodwork and has two columns leading to a beautiful leaf scroll design.


The lock on the door was removed; however we have sourced a delightful original Armoire bronze pull handle. This drop pull handle is ornately cast and contains a miniature picture of three ladies, possibly oil on ceramic.


It has four shelves and comes with a lovely bottom drawer along with a beautiful glass handle.


The glass to the front is bevelled – sources tell me this is worth more than the Armoire itself. It is a beautifully cut piece of glass which will show off your vintage eiderdowns or anything that is precious.


This is an antique item so please bare this in mind. It is a very heavy solid item and very tall so please check your room height as well.


Measurements: Width 42” - Depth 20” – Height 93 ½ ”
